Donkey parties are the latest social
agonies in the east. The modus |
operandi of the affair is thus de- |
scribed by the Springfield Union:
"You cut big silhouette ola tailless |
donkey out of cloth or paper and |
fasten it to the wall. Each of the |
guests receives cambria tail and a
Din, and is then blindfolded and
placed in corner opposite the donkey.
Whenever he strikes the wall there
he must pin the tail. The result
generally is still taiiless donkey
surrounded by galaxy Of tails and
lots of fun"
